A Moment of Silence

So many times we spend our lives with so many things surrounding us that we see no need to be grateful for, for we believe we deserve all the riches that come our way but we are still not happy enough with all that we have.


We live in a new South Africa where the colour of the skin does not matter as much as it did to those who fought so hard for everyone to be treated equally inspite of the colour of their skin, a moment of silence they do deserve.

People have lost their lives fighting for a better South Africa that we as the youth no longer see the past having a great significance of our present and shaping our future. For all the heroes and heroines who have sacrificed their lives and some whom were crucified for the cause they were fighting for…I give a moment of silence in respect of all the good you fought for.

It would take me years trying to mention each and every cause that citizens of this country have gone through in the name of fighting for a good cause, but to the unsung heroes and heroines of this land; I will forever give you the moment of silence from the bottom of my heart which that you deserve.

Shouldn’t it have been for you, who knows…maybe I wouldn’t have never been able to write this piece today(Moment of Silence).

Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses

I once had a friend, whom I would love to refer to as a very special friend that I still have; may be in the past but memories do force me to refer to him as being in the presence of each and every day of my life.

He loved cars, and driving them fast and would always refer to himself as being the most young and qualified driver there ever was to possess a drivers license at a very young age and still have years of experience as I driver.

He had so much passion for driving around, and years of driving experience were his strength; until they became his weakness when he lost control of the car and lost his life in the scene.  As much as I may sound insensitive and “inhuman” to others; but his strength became his weakness.

“All is Fair In Love and War”

People do whatever they want to in order to capture the heart of their loved ones. When waging war, they use the power they have on their loved ones to be deceitful in order to get what they want, and that’s some kind of an excuse for deception.

An example to this is when our President Zuma had former President Mbeki leave office, and sooner he faced the same with Julius Malema…which then begs another cliché: “What goes around comes around”.


Loving Angels

So many times in life as we grow older and creating new ventures each day, we meet people that we get so attached and do not want them leaving our lives.  I have met loving angels disguised in the ladies within the CPUT CHOIR.

At first sight and encounter you would come up with your own perceptions that they are people who isolate you on purpose and who do not want you being part of the choir; but get to spend quality time with them and see the most amazing personalities within them.

In my 2years of being a member of this choir, I would proudly say they are the most loving angels I have ever met; with soothing voices and with an incredibly funny sense of humour; who always make your worst days to being your best.
